VirusBay

VirusBay is a web-based, collaboration platform that connects security operations center (SOC) professionals with relevant malware researchers. Created as an independent project by Ido Naor, a Senior Security Researcher at Kaspersky Lab, VirusBay is designed to help organizations effectively respond to and recover from an IT security incident when it is not possible for an external expert to visit their facility. VirusBay enables an affected enterprise to collaborate with malware researchers on Indicators of Compromise and the creation of an incident report, among other things. In return, the researcher gains access to malware samples for analysis to improve detection for all. The ultimate goal of VirusBay is to build a community of expertise and data sharing. The project platform is ready for beta-sharing and is currently being presented to the research community for feedback and expressions of interest.
